Deadline: 10-May-22
Do you have ideas about how their societies can become more resilient to disinformation and hostile information activities? Are you looking for funding to make them a reality? If yes, then NATO’s Public Diplomacy Division has launched a call for proposals for projects to develop innovative ways of countering disinformation and hostile information activities in their societies in this particular area.
As NATO continues to prepare for the current and future challenges, their Public Diplomacy Division is offering grants to tackle a key area: enabling NATO countries to be more resilient to disinformation and hostile information activities.
They especially welcome new ideas to develop tailor-made projects. They look forward to providing financial support to community and civil society non-profit organisations who can offer these new ideas and innovative projects.
Objectives
- To increase knowledge, awareness and understanding among citizens of ways to counter disinformation, propaganda and other hostile information activities;
- To develop innovative and non-traditional ways to increase societal resilience in the above areas;
- To produce content of enduring value, which can be shared widely within and outside NATO and civil society networks.
Target Audiences
While NATO’s communications efforts aim to reach the general public, the following groups are considered priority audiences for the Alliance:
- Successor generation (young people 18-35 years old);
- Influencers, opinion formers and decision makers.
Types of Activities
This can be done through:
- Activities using innovative ways to build societal resilience to disinformation, propaganda and hostile information activities;
- Analytical reports with recommendations;
- Policy roundtable discussions, academic seminars, and conferences, face-toface and/or online;
- Digital media projects, including documentaries, interviews, educational tools;
- Other innovative projects.
Eligibility Criteria
NGOs (non-governmental organisations), universities, think tanks, community groups and organisations, and any other pertinent civil society organisations, from NATO member nations.
